dramatic entrance.

Hemingway’s

The Mega UFC burger, which has been

created especially for the event, requires a

healthy appetite. The beef patty is topped

with cheddar cheese, fried egg, turkey bacon,

fried onion, tomato, lettuce, Sriracha mayo

and served with an enormous mound of

‘cheesy madness’ hand-cut potato fries. It’s

pretty epic as far as burgers go. You can

choose to add a pint of hops, too.

creations for Showdown Week. The barbecue

pulled-beef burger features shredded

slow-cooked beef with barbecue sauce and

pickled gherkin, while the towering Heroes

salad and coleslaw. If you À nish that you

Mai Café

Are there any New Zealanders on the UFC

card? We’re not sure, but that hasn’t stopped

this poolside bar at Aloft Abu Dhabi offering

up its Maori burger for Showdown Week.

Between the brioche bun you’ll À nd an 225g

New Zealand striploin topped with cheese,
